Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Crowe - Parents and Teachers to Force the State to Deliver on Schools

Sinn Féin Spokesperson on Education, Seán Crowe, will be attending the
launch of Tuismitheiorí/Teagascoirí Le Chéile (TLC) in the Mansion House at
8pm this evening.

Séan Crowe, Sinn Féin South-West TD said: "The simple truth is
that the government has not delivered on capital investment on schools.
While I welcome the amount of money put in over the last few years it must
be understood that the schools sector has been underfunded for decades.

"TLC is asking for a once-off payment of 400 million Euros to bring 600
primary schools out of the overcrowded and sub-standard conditions they have
fallen into. Considering the government was more than willing to give a
tax-cut costing 350 million Euros surely the money can be found to take care
of the children of this state.
